BOSWORTH MP David Tredinnick has asked Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council if residents on a potholed road in Earl Shilton can be given council tax relief.

He wrote to the borough council chief executive Steve Atkinson after seeing and hearing first hand with Councillor Janice Richards the problems that led them to submit a petition to County Hall asking for something to be done on the unmade up parts of Land Society Lane and Byron Street.

In his letter to Mr Atkinson, the MP says the road is in a very bad state and has been for several years as lorries go through and break it up, adding that bollards could prevent this.
